Bond 23 Update - 16/10/11 - 22/10/11

New blog posts every week with the latest information on Bond 23.

Timothy Gibbs rumour
Timothy Gibbs has been added to the cast on IMDB. According to the cast and crew section, Timothy Gibbs will be playing a character called Agent Folstrum.

IMDB is a good movie database, but due to its open editing features it can lead to false accusations. For this reason, it is most likely that Timothy Gibbs will not be playing anyone by the name of Agent Folstrum. He could still be part of the cast though. No characters names will be released until at least the press conference in November, except for James Bond and M of course.

Reduced budget rumour
In The Sun news paper, they claim that Bond 23 will have a reduced budget compared to the one of Quantum of Solace, almost $100 million. It is also understood that only some of the cast and crew from Bond 23 will be travelling to the exotic filming locations. Turkey and Scotland are the only confirmed locations at the moment, with China and South Africa rumoured.

"They’ve really scaled back. The lavish production and locations have been cut. There is only a reduced cast and crew travelling to the few overseas destinations. There’s not so flash hand-to-hand fighting, it’s gone back to blowing stuff up – including London’s Vauxhall Bridge"

Range Rover now at Pinewood Studios
Recent reports have said that the new Range Rover Evoque has been delivered to Pinewood Studios. Range Rover has been rumoured to supply the next Bond car because EON's conract with Aston Martin ran out. Although the company have denied the fact that this car has involvement in Bond 23, rumours that a chase scene taking place in London for the new film involving a Range Rover and a Jaguar backs us up.
